Excerpt
That brain and behavior are inseparable and that mental events are brain events are the physicalist philosophical foundations of neuropsychiatry (Arciniegas et al. 2006). Biological, social, and environmental factors, as well as their reciprocal interactions, are appreciated as influences on brain function in health and disease, and neuropsychiatrists recognize all of these factors as necessary elements of any account of mental (i.e., neuropsychiatric) function. Their influences on cognition, emotion, and behavior and the combined mechanisms by which they engender neuropsychiatric disorders, however, are understood and described in terms of their effects on brain structure and function.
